Cross your fingers and hope it gets totaled and that tree got you a new car. Gotta stay positive.

So, I guess we've answered the age old question "If a tree falls in the forest does it make a sound?" Maybe not, but I sure as eff did!!

During Hurricane Isabel in 2003 I moved my car 1/2 hour before a tree went down where the car was. Sometimes you get lucky... Good luck with your repairs.

Wow that stinx... My car literally just missed a huge branch back a few days when the tri state got pelted.. Long story short my car got egged so i flipped out and moved my car a few blocks away and parked it in a friends driveway till i can put up some outdoor camera's and install a sensitive car alarm. well i come out the day after the storm and what do i see. A huge *** branch in the exact spot my would have been. I'm now kinda of thanking the sick SOB that egged me.

my neighbor was cutting this big a$$ tree outside of our house last week and i ran outside and all these branches were falling like 2 feet from my sti, i was like pissed that he would cut the tree and not ask me to move my car, but relieved that it didnt hit my car.

that would have been a bad bad day at my house hold. the fire department would have probably been called............. when I set his car on fire

Quote:

yeah and i had a big *** ding due to some idiot that kicks his door open when he parks, so free ding removal as well

Offer to help him kick his door closed......... for good...... the do it anyway

The last few weeks have seen some pretty shiesty weather, sorry to see that you got nailed

Not as bad as some guy who got killed in his SUV by a falling tree over here in Annandale. Now THATS bad luck!

I'm a little surprised they are going to fix that and not total it, that roof damage will be tough to repair and make it look right, especially the dent above the windsheild. Keep an eye on that spot, it may cause leaks in the future.

I spent the weekend in Athens, GA a few weeks back and when I came home on Sunday night there was a tree in my parking space at my apartment. It would've gotten my car if I had been home that weekend.

Trees are not our friends.

by looking at the pictures, if someone was inside they probably would of survived, when trees fall on cars and people are in them they usually die. props to strong pillars

good luck w/ the Z
